Seeing the True Self X Rebirth
Ximo's Nen ability has changed.
But he fell silent for a moment, unsure of how things had changed.
It wasn't that he found it difficult to talk about it; the others looked at his expression and he seemed somewhat conflicted and embarrassed.
He slowly exhaled.
"The restrictions have become much greater; under normal circumstances, I can no longer use my Nen ability."
Upon hearing this, the others frowned.
Because no matter how you look at it, it seems like Nen ability has become weaker.
It's somewhat similar to being attacked; even after recovering, there can still be irreversible aftereffects.
Jin looked at him and said, "It's alright. In a crisis like this, just surviving is already quite an achievement."
This is a very simple comfort.
And that is indeed the case.
Ximo scratched his head.
"Oh dear, I'll show you, but I'll need Benorite's help."
"Benorite's help?" Biscuit paused, taken aback.
Why would I need his help?
Melusina went out and quickly found Benorite, and the group went together to the flat ground outside the camp.
Benorite was found looking completely bewildered.
Ximo looked at him and stated his request. "Could you build me a campervan using mechanical parts?"
"RV?"
Benorite was a little puzzled, but he nodded anyway; it wasn't a difficult thing for him.
He found a bunch of parts in the warehouse and quickly assembled them using his Nen ability.
This thing is very simple.
After all, among the many mechanical parts they brought with them were engine-like components, and tires were certainly not lacking.
Soon, a vehicle that looked somewhat rugged, but was indeed a motorhome, appeared before everyone.
"If it's not powered by your Nen ability, can it start normally?" Ximo asked, looking at the RV.
After all, this was someone else's Nen ability. Before, Ximo only knew that Benorite's Nen ability could control machinery and assemble mechanical parts.
"Who do you think you are?" Benorite said, arms crossed, somewhat annoyed. "Of course there's no problem, and besides, I'm not using my Nen ability to control it anymore."
His Nen ability is to control machinery, enabling it to assemble rapidly, and even temporarily assemble things that don't quite fit certain parts.
However, if assembled into a normal mechanical creation, even if he cancels his Nen ability, the assembled parts will remain stable and will not fall apart because he removes his Nen ability.
Otherwise, his Nen ability would be too weak.
That's why he has been studying various mechanical assembly and manufacturing techniques.
For an elite team, someone who can quickly assemble various machines or even buildings using mechanical parts is still very important.
He also hopes to play an important role in future explorations of the Dark Continent, so that he can gain more leverage for his homeland.
Upon hearing this, Ximo nodded.
"Could you give me this car?"
"Ah?"
Benorite was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Kevin.
Kevin had probably already guessed the other party's Nen ability, and nodded in agreement.
With Kevin's consent, Benorite nodded.
"Okay, you can have it."
"Thanks."
As he spoke, Ximo got into the driver's seat, and the moment he started the engine and put his hands on the steering wheel...
The entire RV was enveloped in Nen ability.
The appearance has changed slightly, but the changes are very subtle; it's simply become more refined.
A name written in an artistic font appeared next to the RV's cabin.
The font displayed is indeed that of Ximo.
"Please come in, everyone. I'll show you around."
Ximo opened the rear door of the RV.
The crowd filed in.
Upon entering, everyone saw a spacious, flat room, completely empty, yet unmistakably a room.
The actual train carriage is definitely not like this.
"So your Nen ability changed from a backpack to a motorhome?"
At this moment, everyone understood.
Ximo nodded.
"That's right, it's essentially still an expanded space, designed to facilitate carrying items during travel, only now it's been transformed from a backpack into a motorhome."
"The restrictions have become more severe, but the effects of Nen ability are also more powerful than before."
Biscuit took a walk around inside the RV.
It's bigger than I imagined.
They entered what appeared to be the central living room, which was 200 square meters in size.
It's definitely big.
"But the limitations of using a motorhome are too great. Of course, this is fine in human society, but if we're exploring the Dark Continent— "
Ximo's Nen ability used to be a backpack, and he could put anything he thought would be useful for travel inside it.
Of course, this is on the premise that its size can fit into the backpack opening.
The capacity is unlimited.
Of course, the actions of putting things in and taking them out cannot be skipped, and sometimes it is necessary to search through them.
This is an unavoidable part of backpacking.
This is what Ximo believed in his subconscious, and that's how his Nen ability came about.
This is both Restriction and the key to making backpacks infinitely sized.
Regardless, because it's a backpack, it's very convenient and quick to use; you can carry it on your body and access it anytime.
While motorhomes are quite large and can accommodate more convenient items like furniture, their overall capacity is significantly reduced.
Moreover, there are many terrains that motorhomes simply cannot traverse for tourism.
How can a motorhome freely traverse Dense Forest?
These restrictions suddenly became extremely significant.
RVs only become a useful mode of transportation for travel in human societies with well-developed infrastructure.
How can any kind of wilderness exploration compare to backpacking?
This is tantamount to a weakening.
And it's a huge weakening.
Ximo shook his head. "To me, it's an enhancement, because my Nen ability isn't just that simple."
As he spoke, Ximo patted the wall of the carriage.
"First of all, a motorhome only needs to meet two conditions: a vehicle and a cargo box."
"A cargo box, like a toilet, can be attached to the back of a motorcycle. As long as people can lie down and rest, who can say it's not a motorhome?"
"After all, sometimes you need to choose your vehicle based on the environment, that's my opinion."
Simply put, the internal volume of a cargo container does not change regardless of its external size.
The only change is the size of the cargo box entrance, but once you choose a motorhome with a large entrance and put the furniture in, you won't need to go through all that trouble.
"Moreover, my Nen ability is effective for the entire RV, not just the rest area at the back."
"In this scenario, the motorhome I drive will far surpass the skills of professional drivers, allowing me to perform maneuvers beyond those of normal vehicles, and both its power and defensive capabilities will be enhanced."
Simply put, you can't even destroy his vehicle until his Nen energy is depleted.
Upon hearing this explanation, everyone pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
If that's the case, then it is indeed slightly better than a backpack.
If even a small box that can fit a person inside is considered a motorhome, then it's not that inconvenient.
Furthermore, it can enhance the overall vehicle and make it more agile.
"I think the Nen ability has become like this is probably because of that experience I had before when I was completely immersed in my dreams."
As he spoke, he leaned against the wall, his expression one of reminiscence.
"It was a wonderful experience. It seemed to fill the void in my heart and make me truly aware of my thoughts and feelings."
"In comparative philosophical terms, it means seeing one's true self."
Ximo pondered for a moment, and then said this.
This change in Nen ability was not surprising to those present.
That's what Nen ability is like.
It is a combination of qi and spirit.
Nen ability is a complete manifestation of past experiences and will.
Just like many people whose Nen ability change after experiencing major changes.
Some people have even had such extreme experiences that their Nen ability have undergone complete transformations, or even changed their Nen type.
"I used to be a pure Emission Type, but now I'm probably Emission Type and Manipulation Type."
That's what Ximo said.
As he spoke, as if sighing, he recounted his life journey to everyone.
"My parents are also travel enthusiasts, so I traveled the world with them when I was a child."
"It didn't bore me at all. Even as I grew up, it became a hobby, and I still travel all over the world."
"I've witnessed all kinds of civilizations in the human world, and I began to venture into those remote, dangerous, and untouched Forbidden Zone. That's why I became Nen user and Hunter x Hunter."
At this point, Ximo clenched his fist and pressed it against his chest.
"But perhaps it is precisely this year-after-year, day-after-day journey outward that has made me tend toward instinct, as if a thought has been imprinted in my mind."
"I don't know when it happened, but I started to settle down in my heart, to start a family, and to experience another kind of beauty that I hadn't had a chance to experience yet."
"After all—after all, I once had a family, and it was within my parents' family that I carried on and continued this hobby."
"Why do we forget all this as we grow up? We only think about traveling, but forget to experience the love of our families, and to experience what our parents went through."
Just as he had been confident, he felt that his soul was whole.
Influenced by his parents, he continued their hobbies and even ideals.
This is also his hobby and ideal.
But being able to live in such a family atmosphere means that his family is happy.
He had long ago planted the seed of wanting a happy family, and this time he would become a parent himself.
But in the course of his daily journeys, and as he began to explore more dangerous territories...
He seemed to have buried this thought deep in his heart.
So much so that I've forgotten about it myself.
When he finally saw his true self, and was drawn into the most cherished beauty of his heart by the Papu the Nurturing Beast, he truly understood what was buried deep within him.
That's how the concept of a motorhome came about.
It's still related to travel, specifically long journeys.
But this time, it's not a backpack carried by one person.
Instead, it's a motorhome carrying a family.
This is precisely the change he has been undergoing, the transformation brought about by incorporating Nen ability.
The group did not interrupt, but listened attentively and pondered the words.
They witnessed and participated in this entire process of change.
They need to know every single detail.
"Do you think this situation will repeat itself?" Melusina asked Kevin beside her.
After all, there were four people lying on the beds in the Infirmary who were no different from him.
After understanding the other person's changes.
After conducting a thorough examination, Ximo was allowed to rest.
After all, he still needs to adjust his mindset.
The memory of his body being twisted has not faded; that hazy, confused experience is still etched in his mind.
He needs to process this properly.
Kevin and his group then went to the Meeting Room.
This time, everyone was rather silent.
Biscuit also asked the question that Melusina had just asked.
"Will this situation repeat itself? This state of fully illuminating one's true self, a further advancement in the Nen ability."
"We can't draw conclusions immediately, but there are still four people lying in bed. Once they've all recovered, we'll have a sample of five people, and then we can draw some definitive conclusions."
Qiduo adjusted her glasses and spoke with a rather serious tone.
Kim looked at Kevin.
"If this situation keeps repeating itself, the importance of your Nen ability will rise even further, and it might even become an indispensable part of exploring the Dark Continent."
Of course, since it's an isolated case, it's impossible to determine whether the Nen ability has become better or worse.
Because under certain circumstances, Nen ability can become extremely powerful due to their extreme nature. After experiencing a complete form, they may no longer be so extreme.
Of course, this less extreme approach also reduces the limitations on Nen ability.
So it's hard to say whether it's better or worse.
However, it is possible to change one's Nen ability.
The Cocoon of Rebirth.
"Is it Netherworld?" Kevin leaned back in his chair, muttering to himself.
The main reason he named this Nen ability "Rebirth" was that he originally intended to use it to give new Nen ability to the Chimeric Ant who wanted to return to humanity.
The name subtly alludes to the concept of rebirth, hence the choice of this name.
However, they arrived on the Dark Continent.
Despite these complex circumstances, the Cocoon of Rebirth will still bring them a true new beginning.
The word "rebirth" has become even more clearly defined.
The name is so fitting.
"It seems this Nen ability has enormous potential that I never imagined," Kevin remarked.
How magnificent, Your Queen.
I'll erect a monument for you when we get back.
Even though I've already reduced you to ashes.
However, in that case, Youpi's heart suddenly becomes very important.
Because in the process of examining and planning the characteristics of each heart, one thing is clear: they are all related to the Nen ability of the person who created them.
While Youpi's Nen ability primarily involves using Phosphor Powder to control or hypnotize others, and also to split himself.
However, his soul characteristics can actually be used for modification; Youpi possesses abilities similar to those of Queen.
They modified normal humans using Phosphor Powder and Cocoon, changing them to resemble Soldier Ant.
This characteristic is actually stronger than his own external Nen ability.
However, this ability is useless in combat, so I don't know much about it.
But this information could be obtained through the defecting Division Leader.
Therefore, Kevin always believed that the medicine made from this heart might indirectly enhance the Cocoon of Rebirth once again.
In addition, the Ant King had already been enhanced once before.
The Cocoon of Rebirth is equivalent to being strengthened twice.
Now that the importance of Nen ability has increased, Youpi's heart, which Kevin ranked last, must be ranked higher than Menthuthuyoupi's heart.
"Anyway, let's get the other four out of that perfect Dreamscape first. I hope they won't blame me, haha."
Kevin stood up and made a joke.
Perhaps it's not a joke.
After all, that kind of complete dream is indistinguishable from reality.
Who wouldn't want that?
